Anatomy
The feature of the synovial joint covers the ends of the bones.
What is articular cartilage?
This law explains how air moves into the lungs due to the inverse relationship between pressure and volume during pulmonary ventilation.
This anaerobic process, occurring in the cytoplasm, converts glucose into pyruvate while producing a net gain of 2 ATP molecules and 2 NADH molecules.
What is anaerobic glycolysis?
This biomechanical concept refers to the product of force and the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to the line of action of the force.
What is torque?
This term refers to the ability to produce consistent and accurate outcomes with minimal wasted energy, often characteristic of highly skilled performers.
What is efficiency?
Made up of 12 bones, this section of the vertebral column is located in the upper trunk.
What are thoracic vertebra?
The partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli is approximately this value at sea level, facilitating its diffusion into pulmonary capillaries.
What is 100 mmHg?
This term describes the breakdown of triglycerides into glycerol and free fatty acids, which can then enter beta-oxidation for ATP production.
What is lipolysis?
This type of lever, where the resistance lies between the effort and the fulcrum, is most commonly used for force production, such as in the calf raise.
What is a 2nd class-lever?
This cognitive theory of learning emphasizes the role of observing and imitating others' behavior, underpinned by the presence of attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation.
What is Social Learning Theory?
A form of connective tissue that wraps fascicles within skeletal muscle.
What is perimysium?
The term for the mechanism by which blood flow is redirected from less active areas to working muscles during exercise through arterial constriction and dilation.
What is vascular shunting (or redistribution of blood flow)?
This process occurs after exercise, where oxygen consumption remains elevated to restore homeostasis, resynthesize phosphocreatine, and clear lactate from the blood.
What is EPOC?
This specific synovial joint in the body, classified as a hinge joint, permits only flexion and extension and is stabilized by the medial and lateral collateral ligaments.
What is the knee joint?
This type of feedback, provided after a task is completed, focuses on the quality of performance and is used to develop long-term skill improvement.
What is knowledge of performance (KP)?
Attached between the ribs, these superficial muscles aid in the mechanics of breathing.
What are the external intercostal muscles?
During maximal exercise, this receptor type in the carotid body and aortic arch detects changes in blood pH, triggering an increase in ventilation rate to eliminate excess CO2.
What are chemoreceptors?
This term refers to the point during exercise at which the body transitions from primarily aerobic energy production to significant anaerobic energy production, often marked by a sharp rise in blood lactate levels.
What is the lactate threshold?
This phenomenon, explained by the Bernoulli principle occurs when a spinning ball creates a pressure differential on either side, causing it to curve in flight.
This stage in the information processing model involves interpreting sensory input and selecting the most appropriate response based on past experiences.
What is decision making?
Located anteriorly, this muscle contracts concentrically during dorsiflexion.
What is tibialis anterior?
This gas is transported away from the tissues in three main ways; dissolved in blood plasma, (5-7%), bound to haemoglobin (10%), and within red blood cells as bicarbonate ions (85%)
What is carbon dioxide?
This glucose transporter protein is translocated to the cell membrane of skeletal muscle cells in response to insulin and muscle contraction, allowing glucose uptake during exercise.
What is GLUT4?
This type of lever, where the resistance lies between the effort and the fulcrum, is most commonly used for force production, such as in the calf raise.
This term, represented by a value between 0 and 1, measures the ratio of relative velocity after impact to relative velocity before impact, reflecting the elasticity of a collision between two objects.
This term, proposed by Schmidt in his theory about motor learning, refers to the general set of rules or patterns learned from multiple experiences that help guide motor performance.
What is a schema?
